Let's Talk - NHL Soundtrack Discussion
Hey everyone,
There's been some talk of the soundtrack for NHL recently. I've merged a couple threads here so we can continue the discussion. What kinds of music do you want? Should it represent the sport or is it more up to personal preference? Should there even be a soundtrack or just a custom music feature? Let's hear your thoughts on all things soundtrack related.

Yea i like that song to. I made this cause i saw how good madden 21 soundtrack is
Im wo was the soundtrack went down hill
I know people have talked about downloading their own soundtrack/playlist which apparently was in previous games. That would be cool. Also, the songs for the stadium effects are horrible as well.

Comment songs you think should be added I want to extend this list so its longer and comment what should be removed.
Any edits to this post is either me removing or adding songs

We went from Avenged Sevenfold, FoB before they were awful, BFV, Paramore, Gob, Bowling For Soup, and many many more great bands to soundcloud wannabe pop singers and emo garbage garage bands.
Isn't music subjective though? I haven't liked probably 90% of the soundtracks over the last 20+ years because it's just not my style of music. I think the last song I really liked was from Jimmy Eat World on NHL 03. I'm sure we try to select songs that help add to the overall immersion, but with so many people with varying tastes in music, I doubt it'll ever make everyone happy. Turning the in-game music off is one of the first things I do as I like to stream my own from my PC.
It definitely is, but I just don’t consider indie-pop and indie-screamo really the “hockey vibe” lol. Due to how subjective it is and how it’s a impossible to satisfy everyone, it’s further proof that we need the custom music feature back in the game. Back to the original point though, I’d rather direct that money towards literally anything else but terrible indie music. Haven’t heard any of these songs featured in NHL 20 on the radio.
I posted the spotify link i dont use soundcloud sorry. What songs should i add?
Yea it is completely subjective making it impossible to satisfy eveyone but i think im speaking for the majority. Like one of these replies said hockey kind of has its own music vibe. Im not sure if you play hockey but if you do and if your team plays music what do they listen to?
Show me a team listening to “bad vibes” before the game and I’ll show you a very bad hockey team lol.
Haha it was kind of a joke. Soundcloud is notorious for awful music from aspiring artists.
Can't cator to everyone, however you could throw in some more varying types of music and allow people to deselect the songs they dislike (if this isn't a feature anymore)
There should be at least 2-3 classic rock songs. And some more relevant hip hop songs.
I agree that the indie-pop or whatever it is you want to call it just don't scream hockey.
I haven't heard them either, but I also don't listen to music on regular radio. I know once in a while I'll hear a song from the soundtrack during a stoppage in a real NHL game though. It's always kinda cool when that happens. Even if I'm not a fan of the song, it's nice there's that connection between the game and real hockey. Custom music would be awesome. I used to create a few different playlists when we had this feature, but now I'd probably just rather have a Spotify integration.
I also like the idea of spending that part of the budget on something other than licensed music, but when we had just the orchestration music in 15 and 16, it was met with a lot of negativity. So, some music is probably better than none. Besides, there are also people that like the soundtrack. You have to always keep in mind these forums attract a fraction of the playerbase and there are really only a few dozen that regularly post here. It's not really the best example of the music not being widely appreciated.
I think music for the "hockey vibe" has changed over the years though. What truly is that vibe? When you see bands playing events like the All-Star Game or NHL Awards show, they are pretty radio-friendly bands, but do they represent the sport? Has there ever really been a defined style of music for hockey? For me, it's just whatever sorta pumps me up and gets me excited, but that could be anything from punk rock to indie hip hop. For others though, it's the bands you mentioned or something completely different.
